From the Pulitzer prize-winning Sunday Times bestseller Anne Tyler. Morgan's Passing is now re-jacketed along with the rest of Tyler’s books in striking new backlist style

Brought to you by Penguin.

The audio edition of Morgan's Passing by Anne Tyler.

Morgan Gower has an outsize hairy beard, an array of peculiar costumes and fantastic headwear, and a serious smoking habit. He likes to pretend to be other people - a jockey, a shipping magnate, a foreign art dealer - and he likes to do this more and more since his massive brood of daughters are all growing up, getting married and finding him embarrassing. Then comes his first dramatic encounter with Emily and Leon Meredith, and the start of an extraordinary obsession.
